Weekend game deals: Max Payne 3 $39.99, Civ IV+V $11.99, more

Although it's not as epic as Steam's long-awaited summer sale, Amazon has some pretty solid deals this weekend, including Civ IV, V and a Stronghold Collection for $19.99 (or just Civ IV and V for $11.99), Bulletstorm, Burnout Paradise, Mercenaries 2, Mirror's Edge and The Saboteur for $14.99, as well as five Square Enix titles for $7.49. Other noteworthy deals include 75% off Binary Domain, The Darkness II, Alice: Madness Returns, Borderlands, Bad Company 2 as well as both BioShock games for $7.49. It's worth mentioning that Steam's lackluster lineup this week lends credence to rumors about its summer sale launching next Thursday, July 12.
